Cavalleria rusticana (1982) - full transcript

O Lola, in your milky-white
nightgown...

...white and red as a cherry

When you lean out
there's a smile on your lips

Happy the man
who first kissed you

Blood is spilled at your door

But I don't care if that's where
I'm killed

If I die and go to heaven...

...and find you' re not there,
l' ll turn away

The scent of oranges
comes from the green slopes

The larks are singing
among the myrtle flowers

It's the time when everything
is murmuring the song...



...that makes hearts beat faster

Out in the fields,
amid the golden grain...

...we hear the sound of your looms

Tired by work, we rest

And think of you
and your lovely eyes

We run to you...

...like the homecoming bird

It's time to stop work
in the fields

Our Lady delights
in the risen saviour

It's the time when everything
is murmuring the song...

...that makes hearts beat faster

- Tell me, mamma Lucia
- It's you. What do you want?

Where is Turiddu?

Why have you come here
to look for my son?



Forgive me, I just want to know
where to find him

I don't know.
I don't want a row

Mamma Lucia,
l' m begging you in tears

Treat me like Jesus did
Mary Magdalene

Tell me, where is Turiddu?

He went to Francofonte
to collect the wine

No

He was seen in the village
last night

What are you saying?
Why hasn't he come home then?

Come inside

I can't enter your house

l' m forbidden communion

What do you know about my son?

There's a thorn in my heart

The horse stamps,
the bells jingle

Crack the whip!

Let the icy wind blow,
the rain and snow fall

What do I care?

The horse stamps,
the bells jingle

Crack the whip!

What a fine trade to be a carter

Travelling all over

Lola's waiting for me at home.
She loves me and comforts me

She's fidelity itself

The horse stamps,
the bells jingle

It's Easter and here I am

You' re lucky, Alfio,
always to be so cheerful

Mamma Lucia...

...do you have any
of that old wine left?

I don't know

Turiddu's gone to get some

He's still here

I saw him this morning
near my house

- What?
- Say nothing

l' m going

The rest of you go to church

- Regina coeli, laetare
- Alleluia

Quia, quem meruisti portare

Resurrexit, sicut dixit

Sing hymns to the living Lord

He has risen in glory from the grave

Sing hymns to the risen Lord

Today he has ascended
into the glory of heaven

Sing hymns to the living Lord

Sing hymns to the risen Lord

Today he has ascended
into the glory of heaven

Why did you tell me
to say nothing?

Mother, you know that before
he went off to the army...

...Turiddu promised
to be faithful to Lola for ever

When he came back, she was married

He tried to kill his passion for her
with another love

He loved me

I loved him

I loved him

She was jealous of my happiness

She forgot her husband

Burning with jealousy...

...she stole him away from me

I've lost my honour

Lola and Turiddu are lovers

And I weep

What are you telling me
on this holy day?

I am damned

Go and pray to God

Say a prayer for me

Turiddu will be coming

I want to beg him one more time

Help her...

...mother of God

What are you doing here, Santuzza?

I was waiting for you

It's Easter.
Aren't you going to church?

No

- I have to speak to you
- I was looking for my mother

I have to speak to you

Not here

Where have you been?

What do you mean?
Francofonte

- That's a lie
- Believe me, Santuzza

No, I just saw you
turn down the path

And at daybreak...

...you were seen near Lola's door

Were you spying on me?

No, I promise

Her husband Alfio
was just telling us

Is this how you repay my love?

- Are you trying to kill me?
- Don't say that

Then leave me alone

Your pity has no hope
of placating my anger

Are you in love with her, then?

- No
- She's much prettier

Shut up, I don't

You love her, curse you

That wicked woman
has taken you away from me

Careful, Santuzza, l' m not a slave
to your jealousy

Beat me, insult me,
I still love you and forgive you

But the pain I feel is too much

O iris flower...

...heaven has angels
in their thousands

But only one man
is as handsome as he

O iris flower...

Turiddu, has Alfio come by?

I've just come out, I don't know

Perhaps he's still
at the blacksmith's

He won't be long

Are you hearing mass outside?

Santuzza was telling me...

...that today is Easter Sunday

And the Lord sees everything

Aren't you coming to mass?

No, only those free from sin
can go

I thank the Lord
and kiss the ground

You' re right to do so, Lola

Let's go.
There's nothing to keep us here

Do stay

Yes, stay.
I have something else to tell you

And may the Lord aid you

l' m going

Do you know what you've said?

I meant it, and you deserve it

For God's sake!

Tear out my heart

- Turiddu, listen
- Go away

Turiddu, listen

No, Turiddu, stay.
Are you really going to abandon me?

Why do you follow me?

Why do you spy on me,
even up to the church door?

Your Santuzza
is begging you in tears

How can you throw her aside?

Stop bothering me,
it's too late to be sorry

- Watch out
- Your anger doesn't worry me

The curse of Easter on you

You liar!

The Lord has sent you, Alfio

How far are they with mass?

It's late now

But Lola went in for you
with Turiddu

What did you say?

That while you are out...

...in wind and rain...

...earning your bread...

...Lola is making you a cuckold

In God's name...

...what are you saying?

The truth

Turiddu has dishonoured me

And your wife...

...stole him away from me

If you' re lying
l' ll tear out your heart

My lips never lie

To my shame and sorrow,
it's the sad truth I told you

Turiddu dishonoured me...

...and your wife stole him
away from me

Then l' m thankful to you, Santa

It was shameful of me to tell you

They are the shameful ones
and I won't forgive them

l' ll be avenged before the sun sets

I want blood.
l' m filled with anger

All my love has turned to hate

Let's go home, friends,
where our women are waiting for us

Now our hearts are full of joy,
let's not linger

Let's go home, friends...

...where our husbands
are waiting for us

Now our hearts are full of joy,
let's not linger

Lola, are you going
without even saying hello?

l' m going home.
I haven't seen Alfio

Don't worry, he' ll be here

Meanwhile, come here, my friends

Let's drink a glass

A toast to bubbling wine,
sparkling in the glass

It brings joy,
like the smile of a lover

A toast to honest wine,
that brings us cheer

Black moods drown
in its tipsiness

To your loved ones!

To your good fortune!

Let's drink

Continue the round

To everyone's health

To yours, Alfio

Welcome.
You must have a drink with us

Look, the glass is full

I won't take your wine

It would turn to poison
inside me

Suit yourself

What's going to happen?

Come away from here

Have you anything else to say to me?

Me? No

At your service, then

- Now?
- Now

You've bitten well, Turiddu

It seems we understand each other

Alfio

I know that l' m in the wrong

I'd let my throat be cut like a dog,
I swear to God

But if I don't survive...

...poor Santa will be abandoned

She gave herself to me
and she' ll be abandoned

l' ll stick my knife in your heart

Do just as you see fit

l' ll be waiting for you
behind the orchard

Mother

That wine is strong

And today I've drunk
too much of it

l' m going for some fresh air

But first I want you to bless me...

...like the day...

...when I set off for the army

But mother, listen...

...if I don't come back...

...you must be a mother
to Santuzza

The girl I promised to lead
to the altar

You must be a mother to her...

...if I don't come back

Why are you talking this way?

It's nothing

Just the wine

Pray to God for me

One kiss, mother

One more kiss, goodbye

Turiddu...

...what do you mean?

Santuzza!

Mother

They've killed Turiddu!

They've killed Turiddu!
